Kyp Durron Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Lemme rephrase that. It's a transforming mecha from an 80s' anime. Graham Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaase let it be Mospeada!! I think that I would probably get the two main paint schemes for the SV-51, but because they will be expensive as hell, that will probably be it. I need my money for the other paint schemes of the YF-19!! -Kyp
Scream Man Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 i always liked those southern cross hovertanks.... in 1/60 scale they wouldnt be huge and expensive either
cube Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 sure this has been mentioned, but it's pretty disappointing they aren't releasing the 1d, elint, and ostrich in 1/48...and reissuing the tv Max and Millias without FAST packs seems pointless. Oh well...aoshimas getters and mp megatron will hold me over for the rest of the year
izzyfcuk Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Lemme rephrase that. It's a transforming mecha from an 80s' anime. Graham mospeada!....can i be the prophet this time?
eugimon Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 mospeada!....can i be the prophet this time? no, it's the motoslave.
mechaninac Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 SV-51 [attachmentid=39636]. I can't wait to see pictures of Yamato's version. As for the "other" mecha from an '80's anime: I highly doubt it will be anything from Mospeada, as HG owns all rights, domestic and international, to that license... same goes for Southern Cross; so, unless Toynami has been dropped and a deal struck to have Yamato produce their licensed property I don't see that happening. I'd love to see something from Orguss or the Motoslave from BGC, but I'm sure whatever it is will be, at the very least, interesting.
gian7675 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I hope that the SV-51 weill cotain the Boosters in the initial package. It'll be silly if Yamato sells the Boosters in a separate package...though I'll not be surprised if thety do sell it separately I can see it now. Initial run : SV-51 Ivanov a few months later, Yamato will release SV-51 Nora a few months later again, the SV-51 CF and then the SV-51 Ivanov w/Booster and then SV-51 Nora w/ Booster After everybody buys a SV-51 with Booster, yamatop will then decide to sell a Booster package only Yamato will then say "Suckers!"
jenius Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 2 problems with the Motoslave, isn't Bubblegum crisis a product of 1990? Also, wikipedia indicates it's life was truncated due to legal problems and its lackluster performance (ie. not popular).
rnurmin Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Wow, I'm late to this news. So, SV-51 eh? Not too shabby All this new toy releases are just pounding on the wallet. On top of that, the pricing point doesn't really help either . Even if Yamato decides to reduce the box size, I am sure the savings wouldn't be pass to the consumers Heh, a transforming mecha from the 80's. I will bet 99 cents on it that it will be "Motoslave" Clue: Yamato's current BGC lineup . They seem to be selling out in all the stores.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) But the motoslave is the only mecha that transforms in BGC so i guess u can't call it a "Transforming mecha anime from the 80's" as graham calls it. Lemme rephrase that. It's a transforming mecha from an 80s' anime. Graham Come on guys, I thik it's pretty obvious I just hope that Yamato reissues the Knight Sabers. Too bad for Mospeada. Maybe next time. Edited January 16, 2007 by Lonely Soldier Boy
jenius Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Yeah, I know what I think it is... but that doesn't stop me from wanting something else.
Repiv_Onex Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I hope that the SV-51 weill cotain the Boosters in the initial package.

Well said, I agree on that.
Batou Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 i always liked those southern cross hovertanks.... in 1/60 scale they wouldnt be huge and expensive either He said "popular". Seriously, I think Southern Cross was a big flop in Japan. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Golden Arms Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Does anyone have pics of the Motoslave? I'd like to see Mospeada and Southern Cross Hovertanks as well. But, Southern Cross was a flop in Japan, and truth be told it was the least thought of series of the Robotech line in the West.
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) Guys. Before we get banned by the moderators, there's already a "Speculation Thread" in the Other Anime section Edited January 16, 2007 by Lonely Soldier Boy
HoveringCheesecake Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Well. I just finished watching Macross Zero. The animation was great... but seriously WTF? When I saw the beginning I thought "oh sweet we'll get to see the SDF in some shape or form...". Damnit.
valk1j Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 i always liked those southern cross hovertanks.... in 1/60 scale they wouldnt be huge and expensive either A 1/60 scale hovertank in robot mode would only be 4 inches tall
Macross73 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) A 1/60 scale hovertank in robot mode would only be 4 inches tall 4 inches. w/ 1 cm tall pilots. I've never liked the hover tanks, though. They just don't make sense to me. Open-top-tanks in space. You know at the beginning of Mzero , I thought it was gonna be mostly battles not about some mystical / magical connection to floating rocks and what not. The Afos / A-force alien was kind of neat and it would be kinda neat to have. only i dont know what form it would be good in...Cms figure or 1/100 or 1/72 ore 1/60 although at 1/60 it would dwarf a SV51 or VF-0A/D Edited January 17, 2007 by Macross73
do not disturb Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 4 inches. w/ 1 cm tall pilots. I've never liked the hover tanks, though. They just don't make sense to me. Open-top-tanks in space. i don't remember them being in space, they were the ground forces on the RDF. you might want to watch southern cross again.
Macross73 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) i think there was point where they had to infiltrate the enemey ships and were in space crossing over into them either that or they were crossing back. I'll check later. Edit: i cant recall what FP /weapons if any the Sv-51 had. I just dont remember there being much to it other than the plane. I have to re-watch it this weekend. Most of the scenes go by so quickly that much isnt seen. In the hanger in the last episode the fuselages of the 51 are seen but no much of the plane since they're held in place vertically. I hope that the skulls / markings are all tampo printed and edit: will it The Sv-51 have follwoing : (taken from the Compendium) POWER PLANT: variable nozzles that pivot 90 degrees down for VTOL flight in Fighter mode. Two VTOL fan jets in center fore in Fighter mode Two micro-missile launcher/auxillary drop tank composite pods mounted on wingtip hard points. Option of two high-speed, high-maneuverability twin jet boosters equipped with ... composite engines with variable nozzles on overwing hard points ACCOMMODATION: Pilot only. (A two-seat variant also exists.) ... and the Two rear (back) mirrors. ARMAMENT: One (two in SV-51γ) fixed Gsh-231 12.7 mm mini-gun. One standard Gsh-371 55 mm gun pod with 120 rounds and one standard spare magazine stowed in unit's special aft gun pod rack. Six underwing hard points with four micro-missile launcher/auxillary tank composite pods (with 18 Turopov SA-19M I/IR-guided micro-missiles), Two R-33D Amos+ medium-range maneuvering missiles, or a combination of the above. Two auxillary pods are normally mounted on wingtip hard points. Four auxillary pods and two Amos+ medium-range maneuverability missiles were installed at the final battle at the island of Mayan due to the Amos+'s great destructive power It has been determined that only four auxillary pods are used for combat at close range. And an air blast bomb nicknamed "Daisy Cutter." Edited January 17, 2007 by Macross73
Graham Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I don't think any toy company would pick up the licence for Southern Cross, the mecha are really fugly IMO. Graham
recon Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Yesh thats word from the main man himself. Hopefully it would be mospeda being done although i kinda of doubt it. Back to SV-51, Graham, any news on wether yamato is going to do the booster packs for the SV-51?
jenius Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Just a little defense for a mech i don't care for, when the hovertank receives a makeover at some point in the show going from the early rendition open-cockpit version to a space-capable closed cockpit version that does look a bit cooler. Graham, just to kill the speculation, have you sensed anything from Yamato in regards to abandoning the 1/48 line? I need a new VF-1 to go with my GBPIII.
Dobber Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing an updated VF-1 in 1/60. But, I think I'm in the minority. Chris
Dampiel Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing an updated VF-1 in 1/60. But, I think I'm in the minority. Chris As would/am I
Kyp Durron Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing an updated VF-1 in 1/60. But, I think I'm in the minority. Chris You're not alone, my friend. -Kyp
recon Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Im for it too..a remake of the VF-1 in 1/60 especially for VF-1S with the squash peasize S head
Scream Man Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 This would just be restarting an argument again..... anyway, a hovertank would be bigger than 4inches surely.... It'd be shorter than a 1/60 vf-1 but not by much. I dont remember space hovertanks. then again ive only seen SC in Robotech, so maybe they left that out.
Chet Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) Lemme rephrase that. It's a transforming mecha from an 80s' anime. Graham I think I'm gonna be the prophet this time. The new toy from Yamato based on a transforming mecha from an 80's anime is going to be - wait for it - the VF-1 VALKYRIE ... ...or maybe the SDF MACROSS Edited January 17, 2007 by Chet
Dobber Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Graham, I know you can't show us anything IF you do have something, but if you have seen something like CAD drawings how does it look...IYO? I agreed with your opinions regarding the YF-19 and the VF-0 so I'm interested in hearing your take on it. Chris
jenius Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 a 1/60 scale hovertank really would be about 4". I did the math on it at 1/55 over at RT.com in their threads and it was far too small at 1/55.
valk1j Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) This would just be restarting an argument again..... anyway, a hovertank would be bigger than 4inches surely.... It'd be shorter than a 1/60 vf-1 but not by much. I dont remember space hovertanks. then again ive only seen SC in Robotech, so maybe they left that out. Alright to put the record straight, the mecha from Southern Cross and Mospeada are much smaller than the Macross mecha with the exception of the Tread. Size in meters: (all in battroid mode) VF-1 12.68m Spartas (hovertank) 6.18m Auroran (AJAX) 8.9m Legioss 8.75m Tread 13.70m VF-19S 15.48m VF-11 12.92m VF-0 nothing official that i've seen but best guess would be about 17m VF-17D 15.18m SV-51 nothing official that i've seen but best guess would be about 18.5m - 19.5m Edited January 18, 2007 by valk1j
Scream Man Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 huh. well, bummer then. I liked the Sparas....i rmeember that old robotech toy that transformed and had a pilot. always loved that toy. I had it for years. In fact I wonder what I ever did with that....
